Bob Aiello - February 2004
Recently a friend of mine was told that she has to attend Cultural Sensitivity training. Another colleague heard this and mused that this seemed a strange requirement in a field that has required the ability to work with people from different communities for many years. I believe that Software Development, as an industry, has enjoyed a long history of mutual respect for differences and the value of a diverse work force...Does Cultural Sensitivity have a place in the demanding field of IT today? You bet it does and I hope you will join me as we take a look at what these values mean and how they affect you and me!!!
